Abstract

Iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) is major nutritional problem in many part of Indonesia. Iodine oil distribution and salt iodination are the two programs to control IDD. Surveys to evaluate the impact of IDD control programs have been conducted three times in 1982, 1990 and 1998. Indicator used in the survey was Total Goiter Rate (TGR) amongst school children at sub-district level. This paper analyzed data of three surveys for the same sub-district only. Fifty-nine sub-districts surveyed in 1980 and then surveyed in 1988 and 1998 were analyzed to observe the changes in the TGR over the time. The results showed that the mean TGR in 1980, 1988 and 1998 were 33.1 percent, 30.3 percent and 17.7 percent respectively. Overall percentage of sub-district with TGR less than 5 percent in the 3 surveys was 0 percent, 13.6 percent and 32.2 percent respectively. For Java-Bali region that represent the better development in communication infrastructure, the mean TGR in the 3 surveys were 31.6 percent, 25.7 percent and 9.9 percent respectively. Percentage of sub-district with TGR less than 5 percent, for Java-Bali region, was 0 percent, 16.7 percent and 44.0 percent. For outside Java-Bali region, the mean TGR were 33.7 percent, 32.3 percent and 21.1 percent respectively. Percentage of sub-district with TGR less than 5 percent, for outside Java-Bali region, was 0 percent, 12.2 percent and 26.8 percent. In 1998, about two-third of salt consumed by household contained adequate iodine (30 ppm). The relationship between TGR and percentage of salt with 30 ppm of iodine was fairly high (r=0.66).
